Two video game creators go head-to-head in this delightful, queer enemies-to-lovers workplace romance debut, perfect for fans of TJ Alexander and Helen Hoang. Cat Li cares about two things: video games and swoony romances. The former means there hasn't been much of the latter in her (real) life, but when she lands her dream job writing the love storylines for Compass Hollow—the next big thing in games—she knows it’s all been worth it. Then she meets her boss: the infamous Andi Zhang, who’s not only an arrogant hater of happily-ever-afters determined to keep Cat from doing her job but also impossibly, annoyingly hot. As Compass Hollow’s narrative director, Andi couldn’t care less about love—in-game or out. After getting doxxed by internet trolls three years ago, Andi’s been trying to prove to the gaming world that they’re a serious gamedev. Their plan includes writing the best game possible, with zero lovey-dovey stuff. That is, until the man funding the game’s development insists Andi add romance in order to make the story “more appealing to female gamers.” Forced to give Cat a chance, Andi begrudgingly realizes there’s more to Cat than romantic idealism...

Número de Páginas: 130

El derecho a la objeción de conciencia se invoca cada vez más, ya se trate de la cláusula de conciencia de los médicos, de la negativa a vacunarse o de cualquier otra práctica que choque contra las convicciones de algunas personas. ¿Cómo conciliar el respeto a estas convicciones, garantizadas por la libertad de conciencia y de religión, con el respeto a la ley, garante del orden social? ¿En qué medida es legítimo sancionar a una persona por negarse a tomar parte en una acción incompatible con sus convicciones morales o religiosas? ¿Cuáles son las obligaciones del Estado ante tales objeciones? ¿Por qué las conciencias y la ley se oponen cada vez más a menudo en la sociedad contemporánea? ¿Cuáles son las relaciones entre la ley, la moral y la religión? Estas son las principales preguntas a las que responde este libro, y lo hace apoyándose en la filosofía del derecho, en la historia del derecho y los derechos humanos. Se ha escrito para ayudar a comprender la objeción de conciencia e identificar los criterios adecuados para apreciarla. «La conciencia tiene derechos porque tiene deberes. Sin embargo, en estos tiempos para gran parte de la gente, el más...

Social and Emotional Learning in the Mediterranean

Autor: Carmel Cefai , Dominic Regester , Leyla Akoury Dirani

Número de Páginas: 198

The rapid social, economic and technological changes taking place in the world today have led to the rise of social and emotional learning (SEL) as an essential requirement in positive human development and meaningful education. SEL competencies such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, problem solving, collaboration, understanding and empathising with others, embracing diversity and conflict resolution, are key 21st century competences. The turbulences taking place in the Mediterranean region such as civil strife, violence, socio-economic hardship, forced displacement, human trafficking and child abuse, have directed academics’, policy makers' and practitioners’ interest towards SEL. SEL became an innovative avenue in preventing and addressing some of the main challenges being faced by countries in the Mediterranean basin in the healthy development and quality education of children and young people. Social and Emotional Learning in the Mediterranean: Cross Cultural Perspectives and Approaches is the first publication of this kind to explore how the Mediterranean region is seeking to address the issues and challenges in the promotion and implementation of SEL. It is an...

The Sun Never Sets

The Sun Never Sets collects the work of a generation of scholars who are enacting a shift in the orientation of the field of South Asian American studies which has, until recently, largely centered on literary and cultural analyses of an affluent immigrant population. The contributors focus instead on the histories and political economy of South Asian migration to the U.S.—and upon the lives, work, and activism of specific, often unacknowledged, migrant populations—presenting a more comprehensive vision of the South Asian presence in the United States. Tracking the shifts in global power that have influenced the paths and experiences of migrants, from expatriate Indian maritime workers at the turn of the century, to Indian nurses during the Cold War, to post-9/11 detainees and deportees caught in the crossfire of the “War on Terror,” these essays reveal how the South Asian diaspora has been shaped by the contours of U.S. imperialism. Driven by a shared sense of responsibility among the contributing scholars to alter the profile of South Asian migrants in the American public imagination, they address the key issues that impact these migrants in the U.S., on the...

Women's Economic Empowerment

Autor: Kate Grantham , Gillian Dowie , Arjan De Haan

Número de Páginas: 214

This book investigates the barriers to women’s economic empowerment in the Global South. Drawing on evidence from a wide range of countries, the book outlines important lessons and practical solutions for promoting gender equality. Despite global progress in closing gender gaps in education and health, women’s economic empowerment has lagged behind, with little evidence that economic growth promotes gender equality. International Development Research Centre’s (IDRC) Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) programme was set up to provide policy lessons, insights, and concrete solutions that could lead to advances in gender equality, particularly on the role of institutions and macroeconomic growth, barriers to labour market access for women, and the impact of women’s care responsibilities. This book showcases rigorous and multi-disciplinary research emerging from this ground-breaking programme, covering topics such as the school-to-work transition, child marriage, unpaid domestic work and childcare, labour market segregation, and the power of social and cultural norms that prevent women from fully participating in better paid sectors of the economy. With a range...
